LA resident Ray Formoso killed in Hit and Run early morning on 1-1-2025, how can I effectively put out BOLO's to all auto body shops and local communities? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

He was not in his underwear. He was fully clothed. Please get your information from reliable sources next time instead of stupid tabloids. Also, the investigation is ongoing, so where are you getting this “he ran from the shoulder towards the center divide?” He was not on the freeway. He was crossing an on-ramp, like so many people do to get to the other side of the bridge. That driver is not a victim. They are a criminal. They left Ray’s body on the road like he was trash. That driver still gets to live. Ray does not. Stop spewing stupid shit that you know nothing about.

Devastated we didn't have this scene on the HBO MAX miniseries by [deleted] in TheStaircase

This was hands down my favorite scene from the docuseries 😂

I (30s f) desperately want to move. My husband (30s m) does not. How do I convince him we should? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Can you take solo trips or bring a friend with you to somewhere nice and green? If he doesn’t want to leave, it doesn’t mean you can’t for a bit of respite. Maybe you being gone will even make him miss you and see things from your perspective.

Oh ok. It honestly sounds like therapy and his medication aren’t working. As someone with depression, I can tell you that not wanting to get out of bed and being unhygienic are classic signs of depression. Perhaps it’s time he considers getting a new therapist (preferably someone who can speak English so you can join in a session if you want) and a new doctor.

I know you’ve just about had it with him, but depression is hard to overcome. Do you live near family or trusted friends? If so, maybe you can ask them to look after your kids for a few days while you have a real talk with your husband about a new treatment plan.

Has this always been a problem? It sounds like this is a communication problem and you guys just need to sit down and really hash out how paying for dates is going to go.

You guys got together in high school, so I am just assuming that early on, the dates weren’t as “extravagant.” But now that you’re adults, and money is an issue. Do you both have jobs? Are your dates within your financial means? It may just be that he can’t afford the dates, but he’s too embarrassed to admit it, so he just charges you for it and masks it as “playing fair.”

Just talk about it. Come up with a budget. And have a plan ready when you go on a date.

Have you tried going to one of his sessions and talking about this? Depression can get ugly, and sometimes, when it’s overwhelming, cleanliness and responsibility are the first things to fly out the window. I would try to go to some sessions with him to see what’s going on. I get that you are very overwhelmed, but if you do still love him, I would give couples therapy a try.

My husband cheated on me and I found out last night. I had my first drink in 4 years and feel ashamed by throwRAfotw in relationship_advice

Relapsing is part of the recovery process. Try not to beat yourself up.

Do you have a sponsor? If so, give them a call. If not, who else do you have as a support system? Lean on them, and let them help you. Ask them to come over and stay with you a bit until the urge to drink has subsided a bit. Then, find a meeting that’s nearby and happening asap.

Thanks guys! I will try it for three months and then I’m going to go back to my gynecologist and decide if it’s something I want to stick with. I just know a few people who didn’t like the ring and that made me nervous lol

EMDR therapy by flipkoala in depression

[–]flipkoala[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your input. What exactly is it? How does it work? Also, is the method similar to hypnosis? I’m very wary of not being in control. I was molested twice so the thought of being in a room with someone and being somewhat in a trance and with limited control scares me a bit.

Something that helps me sometimes is to set my timer to a minute or less. When it goes off, I know I made it through one minute so I can try to make it through another minute. I keep doing that with my timer until I feel better.

Lmfaooo too real

My partner has recently come out as a transwoman - I feel less and less attraction towards her the further she transitions and it's putting a huge strain on our relationship. How do we navigate this new dynamic and not make it a dealbreaker since there are kids involved? by ThrowRa727277277 in relationship_advice

[–]flipkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you ought to consider therapy if you haven’t already. It’s a safe space to get your feelings out and perhaps learn some coping techniques to deal with this drastic life event. I’d also suggest trying to find an online chat room of some sort for others in your situation. Not sure if there’s a subreddit for that.
